Oh, my receiver was a Hallicrafter's SX-28. Today everyone wants a Skyrider, but back then everyone wanted something more modern. Still wish I had that receiver... I've gone through so much gear over the years that I can't even remember what I did with it.

@bugabootang Saying "We" is a common amateur radio nomenclature referring to a station. Yes, that is usually one person saying it. but at least it makes sense.
Not like the the modern catch phrases that we all know and hate like, "that said"
"at the end of the day" "it Is what it is" etc... These are meaningless!
Nice video Burt, I am thinking of getting a DX-60 off eBay to use with my Softrock Ensemble RX Software defined receiver as a station merging old technology with new.

Well that S76 - I want one. However that would probably be enough to start divorce proceedings.....

DX-60 was my very first ham rig. I had switched 60w light bulb for a dummy load, and a handful of crystals since Novice licensees couldn't use VFO's back then. Althought the HG-10 VFO was made for the DX-60, I've found they were quite drifty. A better VFO was Heath's much older VF-1 made for the AT-1 transmitter. The VF-1 required a keying mod to work with the DX-60, but the instructions for that change was found in the DX-60's assembly manual.

WE put the meter in grid position? WE go into the tune position? What WE do here is WE tune the drive tune for maximum? I'm not tuning anything Burt so there must be somebody there with you in the shack but I only you see your hand controlling the rig. Why can't you say "I" where you say "we". That would make it a lot more personal lol. This is one of the things you complain about in your other videos. I don't mind, but you do.
